Letter body: 

It seems that the editor of the Statesman Journal is waging Jihad against Donald Trump (March 20 op-ed and earlier columns).

He is not alone in his efforts. A kind of fatwa against Trump prevails throughout big media today. Generals of the Jihad Army — New York Times, Washington Post, etc., are assisted by their hired help – Gail Collins, George Will, Kathleen Parker, etc., foot soldiers who slog away shooting their blogs out.

Regiments in Oregon include also The Oregonian, Eugene’s Register-Guard and others. True to the saying that “politics makes strange bedfellows,” the entire liberal media have joined establishment Republicans who continuously deride their own leading presidential candidate.

What has Donald Trump done to stir this holy war? He advocates enforcement of the immigration laws! He advocates putting the physical safety of U.S. citizens first in government’s obligations! He is sincerely proud of the United States, its history and its heritage and wants it to continue to be a stable, prosperous, peaceful nation — nation, not just a geographical area. For this, he is condemned and vilified.

I and millions of others say thank you, Donald Trump!

Here’s hoping you’ll be our next president.
